This airport is connected by TGV to the entire country and by RER and bus to Paris. It's not so bad or at least it do not deserve the price for the worst airport in the world. Even the old terminal build in 1967 is not so bad.

Best airline : don't just one who gave me something very good
Worst airline : air france by far (and it's the most expensive as well ! )

Best airport : Tokyo
Worst airport : JFK new york

It's sad to see the capital of the United States has such a shitty airport. I've never been there but I wouldn't doubt you're right on your opinion about the airport.

Dulles isnt shitty by any means...maybe the person had a bad experience but it really is a nice airport

once the renovations are complete its going to be awesome

I didn't know the airport was currently undergoing renovations. That's pretty good.

I think the United States has pretty good airports but since they're old they're looking worse and worse compared to all the brand new airports going up around the world. Austin used to have an old small terminal building until we got a new one in 1998 and I really love it. It could use some improvements though like full freeway access to the city and rail service.

Among expensive airlines I prefer our national flag carrier Turkish Airlines. Just once I tried another flag carrier, Iberia and it was the last time I've done so. Among low-cost airlines AirBerlin is quite good!











Air Berlin:





Best Airport I've been so far, Madrid!



Worst, Ezeiza International in Buenos Aires:

Best airline: Singapore Airlines (great food, perfect service and a great on-board entertainment system)

Worst airline: Ryan Air (but they are extremely cheap...so who cares), Iberia (crappy service and the aircrews sometimes can barely speak any English), British Airways (rude air crews)

Best airport: Singapore (SIN), Hong Kong (HKG)

Worst airport: Alexandria (ALY) absolutely horrible airport, the interior and especially the toilets are absolutely disgusting.

Yes it's the most interesting region for me and as I'm hoping to do a arabic course at university I thought it'd be a good opportunity before to head out there this year

I agree that in my experience Asian airports are generally the best, but most of them have an advantage of being quite modern and also well planned

Best airport Frankfurt? I personally find the Airport very dull. Not comparable with all the nice Asian ones.
